Reasons for making this change
Fixes #3759
Additional properties with defaults set currently creates a permanent key-value pair that is essentially uneditable.
Trying to edit the key creates an entirely new key value entry on blur while still keeping the default key-value pair. The default key-value pair is also not deletable. Solution here generates defaults for additional properties once on form initialization, and then skips regeneration on any form update
Something to keep in mind with this solution is that defaults for additional properties will not generate if custom formData is provided to the form - a way around that would be to keep track of something like a defaults generated state instead of relying on 'edit'
